‘SALENTO SENZA TEMPO’ - Timeless Salento - released worldwide by Egea in April 2007. It is not a new album from Nidi d'Arac, but rather a tribute to the musical tradition of Salento. In this album Nidi d’Arac wants to recount with acoustical simplicity, the essence of this land's ancient history. People of the South, from father to son, generation to generation must preserve through memory, creativity and respect their own identity in this world of wide cultural diversity. 'Modernity lives inside all of us, in our way of thinking and in our way of creating’. A.Coppola “Nidi d’Arac have turned off the synths and sequencers for their latest, but Salento Senza Tempo, though entirely acoustic, isn't all traditional pizzica. Piano, strings, and traps imbue the folk-based material with a welcome modernity. This album has been thoughtfully conceived and impeccably arranged, played and sung. It's a testament to Alessandro Coppola's seriousness of purpose, his deep knowledge of and love for the traditional music of Salento.”- Rootsworld |
